Preventing Spambots from Harvesting Email Addresses

I know there is a way to include javascript on your site to prevent email spotbots from crawling the email address:

var username = "username";
var hostname = "hostname.com";
var linktext = username + "@" + hostname;

document.write("<a href=" + "mail" + "to:" + username +
"@" + hostname + ">" + linktext + "</a>")

It assumes you hardcode your email addresses though. Where your email addresses are in a database and your page displaying the email is asp based, is there a way to use the javascript?

the easiest way is to use a contact form, and dont hardcode your email address, this is by far the most effective way.

I know it is, but I don't want to use that method.

I would like to make it relatively easy for those legitimate users to obtain email address, while preventing spambots from getting them.

okay, I think I've figured this out. I should be able to simply to call the recordset info from the database as follows:

var username = "<%=rs("UserName")%>";
var hostname = "hostname.com";
var linktext = username + "@" + hostname;

document.write("<a href=" + "mail" + "to:" + username +
"@" + hostname + ">" + linktext + "</a>")

I'll have to try it out ...
